Canada Retail Sales

Nov 22 Canadian retail sales picked up in September as auto purchases climbed for the first time in three months on demand for new cars, data from Statistics Canada showed on Tuesday, reinforcing expectations that economic growth rebounded in the third quarter. Retail sales rose 0.6 percent, in line with economists’ expectations, but would have been flat without the increased purchases of cars and parts.

Trade Idea

Considering the overall technical and fundamental outlook, selling the pair on short term upside waves could be a good strategy in medium term.
